Are you sure you don't have a slow leak? Paying that much would really toast my buns!

The only gas I have to buy for my other vehicle is a good bean burito.

That's pretty crazy dude. Ow.
Of course, if this were done in CA, that would be more like, $150.

Look on the bright side though - you would have paid another $15 on top of that, if you lived out here in CA!

$4.20 a gallon, lucky bugger...

The premium for my Z ends up costing me about 90 to fill it... and it is a little coupe :-/

Wow, I thought $80 for my IS 350 was a lot, that blows. Ride the scooter, leave the car in the garage. I've only filled up my car once this summer and probably won't again anytime soon.

Yeah, after living in Italy for two years, the gas prices here are like a gift from God.

I nearly fell over when my scoot cost AUD12 to fill today.

Had no choice - the "push me" light was on

We make jokes about going across the lake (Lake Winnebago, WI) for $100 burgers.
